Background Checks

In many states, clubs and organizations are responsible for hiring the right people. A club or organization may be sued if one of its employees sexually abuses a child. When this happens, a victim must prove:

The club or organization had a responsibility to the victim,

The club or organization did not uphold this responsibility, and

The failure to uphold the responsibility caused the abuse.

* It is very hard to prove these things

It is a good idea for an organization to conduct a background check; However, just because a background check is performed does not prevent an organization from being sued.
